etudisco



Hi everyone! My name is Emily Tudisco. I'm in my third semester at the GSE, where I'm studying Adolescence English Education. I'm originally from Long Island, New York, but have spent the last four years here at Fordham Lincoln Center. While in undergrad, I majored in English, took lots of classes in Women's Studies, edited some literary magazines, and worked as a Diversity Peer Leader with the Office of Multicultural Affairs. I currently work as a RA for law and grad populations in the dorms and tutor with Reading Partners. I enjoy reading many kinds of things in many forms, especially historical fiction and themed Twitter accounts. After completing my Masters, I hope to pursue a degree in literacy/reading, and conduct researc h in Internet studies and new literacies.
